I'm bored and need recommendations - Progressive Rock Music Forum

First you might want to start with which bands you know and like already so that others know what your tastes are. Otherwise some on here might recommend some really obscure stuff that might leave your head scratching. I know you said it's for everyone and not just you but it's still a good idea to state what you like already so we know your tastes(and the same could apply to anyone responding).

ASIA MINOR "Between Flesh and Divine". If you don't like this from the first notes, check your heartbeat!

I can't give any recommendations. I am bored too.

Ah. Is everybody WFH and confined to their home office like me? I suggest Room V by Shadow Gallery...who suggested radiohead? That aint prog....

Bit of a strange rec thread as there is no recipient tastebuds at the other end of the line

But sure I recommend:
Here & Now - Fantasy Shift
Elephant9 - Atlantis
Genesis - Duke
Henry Cow - Western Culture
Caravan - For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night
Guerilla Toss - GT Ultra
Marillion - Fugazi
Area - Crac!
Sinoia Caves - Beyond The Black Rainbow
Embryo - Rocksession
Phideaux - Chupacabras
Chrome Hoof - Chrome Black Gold
Kebnekaise - ll
Capability Brown - Voice
Jaga Jazzist - One-Armed Bandit
WigWam - Being
Klaus Schulze - Blackdance

My suggestion would be to get a girlfriend and a hobby...

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Bored already and you had only joined 12 hours before. Wait until you've been here 15 years -- it will make the boredom you're feeling now seem positively invigorating by comparison.

What's easy for some to get into and will hold their attention will not be easy for others to get into. The best recommendations tend to be personalised, I find. If you were to create a topic taking about your general tastes and attitudes in Welcome Newbies it would help to get to know more about what interests you.

Well, as I see you gave ELP's Brain Salad Surgery five stars, but I won't try to recommend something that sounds the same.

When I first read your description before giving it any thought, Caravan's Land of Grey and Pink came immediately to mind, and sometimes I find it better not to second guess myself and overthink things (mostly because big thinking give me big headache).

sorry but I've listened to Land of Grey and Pink ( to prove, it winter wine is my favorite song from it)

I am enjoying this form of recommending music...where you don’t know what the recipient goes for.
It rather ends up like this free space where I can lump together completely different sounding artists and albums

More recs for someone (here I am specifically thinking of people who love pickles):

Catapilla - Changes
Waste Of Space Orchestra - Syntheosis
Cervello - Melos
Secret Oyster - Sea Son
Nya Ljydbolaget - s/t
Supersister - Iskander
Tonton Macoute - s/t
Semiramis - Dedicato a Frazz
Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood
Wolfgang Bock - Cycles
Moulettes - Preternatural
Flower Travellin’ Band - Satori
Carol Of Harvest - s/t
Ulver - Perdition City
Vangelis - Earth

Hi,

I do not like to make recommendations much ... as I usually say ... you will be missing the far out seconds of "discovery" when you go from someone else's thoughts ... you are not them and they are not you, and suggestions are suggestions and may help, but in general finding something that fits your own taste is difficult, because those tastes are about you, not the suggestions.

In the old days, we even bought the albums without knowing anything and we found all kinds of music that we still appreciate ... it wasn't perfect but it was far out to find neat things ... try it ... you might like it!

I'll be sure to listen to after I finish this Album called "Between Flesh And Divine" But when finish I'll probably have to do some work
